Paraiba tourmaline is famed for a phenomenon few gemstones can rival: a copper-bearing, electric neon blue-green that appears lit from within. First discovered in Brazil’s Paraíba region and later found in Mozambique, true Paraiba material remains exceptionally scarce—especially in commanding sizes with strong saturation.
At the heart of this necklace is a 20.51ct natural Paraiba tourmaline, presented in an oval cut to maximize face-up presence and showcase its Vivid Neon Blue-Green (Copper-Bearing) color. The stone’s luminous, tropical spectrum shifts between blue and green flashes, delivering the unmistakable “Paraiba glow” collectors pursue.
The setting is crafted in 18K gold with a substantial gold weight of 20.3g, designed to frame the center gem with brilliance and refinement. Surrounding the Paraiba are 360 accent diamonds totaling 3.49ct (GVS), adding a continuous scintillation that elevates the neon center stone while maintaining an elegant, couture finish.
No grading certificate accompanies this piece, allowing the gemstone and workmanship to speak for themselves. As a rare-gem statement and potential heirloom, this necklace offers enduring desirability for collectors drawn to large, copper-bearing Paraiba tourmaline and exceptional diamond-accented craftsmanship.
